Wake up, do school, go to work, come back home and play in Linux. Well, I usually play Battlefield 1942 and practice with some tournament friends, but today I decided to try and get Battlefield to work in Linux. It ain't easy lemme tell you, gotta try some more tonight. You see, for gaming to work in Linux, you pretty much need to use Cedega, a fork of the popular Wine application, which lets you run Windows apps on Linux. Cedega however has many code alterations and stuff, specifically in the DirectX 9 region, which is used in most games nowadays. Anyway, I found a nice script on the Linux-gamers site, and attempted to install it. However, by night's end, I could not figure out why the install didn't work. I found out I also didn't have Wine or CVs, which I got afterwards, tried again, but still to no avail...
I'm also trying to use a simpler method of installing games with Grapevine, a nice free version of Point2Play.
